Hi Touchjams Team,
I am a new customer. I just bought a license for my desktop (moltenpros) last week and today I bought another license for my laptop (photovideogo). I have been trying out many other jukebox software before I finally stumbled upon Touchjams. So far I can say that Touchjams is the best overall jukebox software but It is missing one key feature that all the other jukebox software supports; (Video Crossfade). My notes are below.
What I love about Touchjams is the beautiful interface, customizability, speed of media import, mp4 album art support, AutoDj, stability, multi-monitor support, karaoke & video support, etc. It is an amazing piece of software and I can see that the owners put a lot of time and effort in making this software
What I think should be added, please correct me if these features are already in your software
:
The most important feature that is missing is video crossfade. It has audio crossfade but not video crossfade. In fact, when I play one video after the next, there is a 4-second gap before the second video starts. As you should know silence between songs is not good for a party mood, Video should crossfade just as audio files. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. I already have K-lite codec pack installed.
The other features below are not that important but I think it will make your software even more attractive to many other users
I read the manual and was able to figure out how to rename buttons, which is great. I removed the Radio button because I didn't want that feature. What about adding buttons?
Movie Button - If I could add a Movie Button, It would function just as the video button but would have its own section where I can add all my movies.
Is it possible? How can it be done?
AutoDj does not support Video - Video should have the same features as audio. This is for users with a music video collection.
The Playlist and Queue buttons have a toggle function. Is there a way to separate the two so on the main page we can have one button for playlist and one for Queue?
Search function - Is there a way to search in two categories? For example, If I want to search my music and video collection at the same time for a specific artist or song. As it is I can only search in one category at a time.
Is there a way to add a Spectrum meter to the second monitor when playing mp3? It can be put right below the Now Playing album art.
LRC lyrics support (scrolling lyrics) - this would be a great feature for sing-a-longs. I already have the LRC lyrics located in the same folder as my music files. If you enable LRC support, users will be able to see the synchronized lyrics whenever a song is playing so we can sing along with the artist. I know you already have the Karaoke section. Karaoke is great but sometimes we just want to sing along with the artist without the karaoke version.
Ways to Implement LRC lyrics - You can natively support it by adding code to your software or you can team up with Minilyrics or musixmatch.
Minilyrics might be a good match for you because it also supports many other media software. Seems they will only need your SDK. You can find Minilyrics by going to this website - www.crintsoft.com/
Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I am crossing my finger and hoping these features can be added. I look forward to your response.
Please note; I sent and email to you last week and got no response. I am hoping that my email got missed by mistake. I see you respond to posts on this forum often so I decided to alternatively post on the forum.
Regards,
Carlton
